Space Combat

Play Space Combat free online. Dogfight enemy fighters in zero gravity — master momentum, then out-turn them.

A space dogfight with real momentum. Turning and thrusting are separate: your ship keeps drifting the way it was going, just like in space. Enemy fighters chase you, lead their shots and open fire when they line up. Your shield recharges slowly; your hull does not. The arena wraps around at the edges, so there is nowhere to hide.

How to play Space Combat

Objective: Destroy wave after wave of enemy fighters.

  1. Your ship drifts with its momentum; thrust to change speed and direction.
  2. Enemy lasers hit your shield first (blue ring), then your hull.
  3. The shield recharges slowly. Each cleared wave repairs one hull point.
  4. Flying off one edge brings you back on the opposite side.

Scoring

100 points per fighter plus a bonus for each wave.

Difficulty levels

Higher difficulty makes enemy pilots aim more accurately.

Tips
